Burpo Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 So, I received my KS armor a couple of days ago and finally got the chance to get it out of the box last night. Has anyone else who has ordered KS armor had pitted and wavy pieces? The helmet is good, decent pull but a little soft on one side. The other pieces, not so satisfied with them... They jumped right on making things right, however. I am very pleased with their customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm not a big fan of the KS armor period. The quality of the pull aside, the dimensions of the pieces are wildly off. I like the helmet though. I have a KS lid myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I wear KS armor (w/ an Altmann helmet), but have replaced the offending parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 They got the neckline on the chest armor right. I'll give 'em that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SphereBase21 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm looking at KS armor, and was wondering what parts of the armor might possibly need to be worked on, or possibly replaced? Although this might depend on the armor pull received? I did notice that the corrugated hoses on the thermal detonator appear black, and I believe should be grey? Thanks, Kevin.

Griffin-X Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 To be more accurate, you'll need to replace or modify the following: Armor: 1. Holster (replace, too large) 2. Belt boxes (replace, too large) 3. TD hose (paint it grey), TD end caps (replace, too large) 4. ALL greeblies (incorrect t-bits) 5. Trim (remove it) Helmet: 1. ALL greeblies (incorrect snout, no riser) 2. Decals (replace, not correct) 3. Bolt covers (replace, not correct) 4. Snout area (missing black outline, riser, etc.) 5. Trim (remove it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Hawk Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 While I would never buy a KS helmet or armor , they obviously are a name in the Scout world. Why do you think they continue turning out poor products like they do? Do they just not care? It would seem easy enough to make the changes to their product ( and customer service ) and put out something that people would love. Scouts are relatively small customer base but still..

SphereBase21 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Thanks everyone for the KS information. It looked like a possible option, but based on what needs to be corrected, I agree that those items mentioned should have been straight forward for them to address. I believe another possiblity is SC from what I have read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarintyr Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The helm is prob the only good thing about ks kit. I ordered a bund, didn't get it. My armor came purple ish hue. Didn't get tank decals , tbit or TD greeblies. Replaced the TD end caps with covers from a 1$ lotion bottle.

Guest Forrest Patrol Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Didn't get tank decals , tbit or TD greeblies. KS don't give you the tank decals or TD greeblies, I didn't get them either. It's not too bad that you didn't get the T-bits because you only have to replace them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
